Matthew Williamson book launch...

Apologies my wonderful readers for the delay with this post as I did attend the event last week but hey, that's life so just enjoy it now!

Last week I was lucky enough to attend the launch of Matthew Williamson's new book. The book is to celebrate Williamson's 13 year career and Somerset House are holding an exhibition featuring some of the beautiful shots and quotes from the contributors. These are not just any contributors but the likes of Sienna Miller, Anna Wintour, Alexandra Shulman and many more have all put pen to paper in ode to the designer so it's well worth a visit, plus - it's free!

So for the launch I had to tackle the cobbles of Somerset House once again, (I thought I had put that one to rest until next fashion week but hey ho!). I went for an all black number, (always a safe and chic bet with the fashion set).

The event was great, Williamson of course was in attendance with muse and friend Sienna Miller. Miller looked stunning in a beautiful floor length, blue gown from Williamson's SS11 collection.

Elephant hunting in the city...

I had the day off yesterday, (and what amazing weather- my luck was obviously in), so I decided to view the latest cultural experience to hit London; Elephant Parade. The largest outdoor art event ever recorded in London is here until July and showcases the best in innovative and original design. Artists, celebrities and fashion designers have produced their own designs for the elephants and over 250 of them have been scattered around London for an estimated audience of 25 million people. The pieces will be auctioned off in July in aid of the endangered Asian elephant.

Yves Saint Laurent...

One of my favourite quotes comes from the late Yves Saint Laurent; Fashions fade, style is eternal, and not a truer word spoken. Yves Saint Laurent's work was unique, distinguished and down-right wonderful and he was well and truly one of the greatest designers to have lived.

If you love his work as much as I do and are heading to Paris between now and August head to the Petit Palais gallery where 307 pieces of the great's work will be on display...if only I had saved those Daily Mail Eurostar vouchers!
